This video captures Jordan Rudess‘s demo at the Windows 8 “Build” Show. He kicks off with a prog synth jam, before moving on to demonstrations of his Wizdom music apps, MorphWiz & Tachyon, running on a 27″ Lenovo Windows 8 touchscreen computer.

Wizdom Music has released a new iOS app, Jordan Rudess and Kevin Chartier’s Tachyon, that lets you morph between two sounds, polyphonically.

Here’s what they have to say about Tachyon:

Most instruments only allow you to play one sound at a time, but with Tachyon, you can seamlessly blend between any two sounds as you slide your fingers up and down the screen.

The visual experience of Tachyon is just as mesmerizing. As you move along the playing surface, a field of twinkling stars morphs into the shape of your selected instrument, allowing a direct correlation between sight and sound.

Reader ‘fatbackribs’ let us know about new free music app for the Mac:

Just a heads up on the upcoming iOS app from Jordan R. and Wizdom Music.

You can download a free mac os version of Tachyon on the Wizdom Music site. Without a multitouch trackpad you’ll only be able to to play one note at a time, but you can still get a nice preview of the sounds and features for the iOS version. Check it out.
